Rule #1– Never doubt me when I talk training. Everything else is a toss up

First, nice pull Dave.
Second, for those of you who may be new here and might think these results are atypical, you are dead wrong. I was at grip n’ rip with Dave last February. I weigh 180 as Dave does. I started deadlifting seriously about 8 months ago and could barely pull 300. Now my sights are set on 500 and I will pull it before 2011. I tried other “programs” in the past with deads, and quit because nothing helped me raise the weight on the bar. I have used GM religiously since Feb. and have seen increases in weight percentages like this in all my lifts. Quit fucking around, wasting money on all the gimmicks out there (I’ve bought some too!) and start something that works. Adam told me I would never buy another piece of training literature or program again. I called bullshit but can now honestly say I’m done with all of it. All I need is plates, a bar, KBs, and beef (and maybe Slayer).

26. I didn’t pick up my first Oly bar until 3 years ago. My max deadlift was 375 one year ago.

Badass, dude. This looks fun.

I’m curious: how old are you now, and where were you with dead lifts at 18?
